Got a Tip?

James Franco’s Movie Inspired By Dustin Hoffman, Gene Hackman And Robert Duvall Won’t See The Light Of Day

James Franco directed a film that he claims will never see the light of day [ed. wait, is it a short? Sure sounds like one]. Apparently it was inspired by an interview with Robert Duvall, Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman that caused him and a writing partner to pen a writing partner to pen a story about two girl-crazy acting students. “I guess they were all room mates back when they were in acting school, and they were like, ‘Yeah, we just went for the girls. I directed it, but it was so . . . I don’t know….It turned out badly. I’ll never show it to anybody.”[NYPost]

Kevin Smith might not make the film, “Ranger Danger.” [Cinemablend]

Will Ferrell says he’s swearing off sports movies for good. Maybe after the super weak showing of “Semi-Pro,” he finally got the hint. We’re glad. [Rotten Tomatoes]

Nicolas Cage is reteaming with the director of “Gone In Sixty Seconds” for a supernatural thriller that bites that title of a famous Donovan song, “Season of The Witch.” Seriously, does anyone care?[THR]

Anne Thompson suggests that the New York Film Festival shows arcane art films. That might be one way of looking at the slate of lesser-known foreign films, but it’s a short-sighted view. The line-up so far is stupendous and includes some of the best films we’ve seen all year. [Anne Thompson]

Owen Wilson is going to be in a buddy comedy about a bro and his bff, who turns out to be a vampire. We suppose this sounds marginally more interesting than the premise to “Me & Dupree,” but seriously, when will Wilson stop acting as himself all the time? Totally sick of this guy. He’s a one trick pony who’s exhausted his shtick. [BloodyDisgusting]

Anna Faris has decided against playing famous porn star Linda Lovelace in a biopic about her life. Apparenty she wants to stick to comedies and this role seems too “bit too heavy at this stage in her career.” Fanboys salivating at the chance of seeing her naked are heavily disappointed.
